We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Ditula angustiorana (Red-barred Tortrix), covering Arthropoda and Insecta lineages within Lepidoptera. The assembly totals 468.36 megabases, with 99.83% of sequence scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules that include the W and Z sex chromosomes. A mitochondrial genome is also assembled, spanning 16.19 kilobases.
